“Frontotemporal Dementia is often lost in the shadow of Alzheimer’s disease”, says Kelley Connors, MPH, Real Women on Health! radio show host and Founder of KC Healthcare Communications. Compared to the 5+ million adults living with Alzheimer’s disease, this is a rare disorder. FTD usually occurs as an early-onset disease, presenting itself when a patient is in her 30s, 40s or 50s and can take a decade or more to be properly diagnosed due to lack of knowledge of the disease in the medical community, and resulting in increased healthcare costs and financial devastation for patients who are not properly diagnosed. “This show aims to increase awareness to families and healthcare professionals of the signs and symptoms of FTD, and help families understand what resources are available to help them,” says Ms. Connors.
This 60-minute on-line radio show, themed “It’s not Alzheimer’s. FTD, the Other Dementia” will be a conversational forum open to all, especially those who are interested in learning and spreading the word about FTD.
